Pope St. Gregory I,(c.540-604).

On September 21, 591 A.D., Pope Gregory The Great, preached a sermon in Rome which stated that Mary Magdalene was a prostitute.

WAS MARY MAGDALENE A PROSTITUTE?

The Holy Bible confirms that Mary Magdalene was demon-possessed,

and not a prostitute.

The Holy Bible says:

When Jesus rose early on the first day of the week,

He appeared first to Mary Magdalene,

out of whom he had driven seven demons.

(Mark 16:9; Luke 8:2).

In 1969 the Catholic Church officially corrected

Pope Gregory The Great erroneous statement

of Mary Magdalene.
